If you use Apple Remote Desktop to install Office 2008 on another computer on your network, Dock icons are not installed.

Fonts that are replaced by Office Installer are moved to either the /Library/Fonts Disabled folder or the /Users/username/Library/Fonts Disabled folder so that you can save them or restore them, if it is necessary.

Office Installer makes changes to fonts, and if you have an earlier version of Office on your computer, the Office Installer replaces old Office fonts with new fonts. If any running application is using a font that is replaced by the Office Installer, that application could become unstable or display information incorrectly.

If you encounter these issues, quit and then restart the application. If quitting and restarting the application does not resolve the issue, restart the computer.

To change Office Installer settings so that Office Installer doesn't install new fonts, do the following:

Office Installer installs Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac in the Applications folder. If you move the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to another location on your computer, or if you rename or modify any of the files in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder, you cannot install product updates. To correct this issue so that you can install product updates, drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash, and then reinstall Office 2008 from your original installation disk.

If you currently have Office 2008 Trial Edition on your computer, you must remove it because this free version will interfere with the Office 2008 installation.

If Office Installer does not find an upgrade-eligible version of Office, click Continue to skip the search process. You will be given another opportunity to browse to the folder or CD that contains the upgrade-eligible version of Office.

Office Installer and Remove Office use Spotlight to locate versions of Office that are installed on your computer. If Spotlight is disabled or does not search folders where a version of Office is located, Office Installer and Remove Office cannot find versions of Office that are eligible for upgrade, or versions of Office that you might want to remove. Also, the search might take longer if your computer has a slower processor or a very large hard disk.

Office Setup Assistant cannot import identities that were created in Office 98, Office 2001, or Office v. X. To import these identities after installation, open Entourage 2008, and then on the File menu, click Import.

Remove Office does not remove versions of Office that are installed on a network volume. To remove these versions, drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash.

Remove Office moves user-created templates that are stored in the My Templates folder of any earlier version of Office to the Rescued Items folder on the desktop.
